Heaven: The Rich Adventurer Risked It All For Her

by Bobbi Smith

In this sweeping tale of lust and greed, a man with money risks it all for her—and their adventure together is filled with passion and the promise of true love.

“From the very first page I was glued. It wasn't just a romance. It was a romantic mystery thrill ride with wonderful characters and their stories are amazing. I loved this book. I LOVED IT!”—Callie W.

From New York Times bestselling author Bobbi Smith comes the story of the compelling hero and the woman bold enough to claim him. Archaeologist’s daughter Alexandra Parker wants to unearth the Crown of Desire and to her it’s not just priceless, this mysterious artifact could mean the difference between life and death. To find it she embarks on a dangerous adventure in a foreign land, a journey in the company of wealthy Englishman Winn Bradford, who is seductive and charismatic—but not someone Alex should trust—let alone fall in love with.

But fall in love they do, as they stand on the darkly shadowed ship’s deck, wrapped in each other’s arms. Alex is trembling, her hands on Winn’s shoulders, and she feels the power of him.

He bends his head, his gaze fixed on her lips and whispers her name, “Alex…”

It is heaven, that first kiss. Winn’s mouth moves over hers, the kiss deepening.

“You’re beautiful,” he whispers.

Alex melts into him. “I love you, Winn,” she breathes against his lips.

Then their lips meet in a fiery kiss.

Alex has a secret—one which may put Winn Bradford’s safety at risk—and which will force her to choose between loyalty and extraordinary love…

I really liked this book!! but what i really wanted to comment on was, I know you are not suppose to judge a book by its cover, but YIKES at the cover on Goodreads! Its sad to say I probably would not have read this had I seen that mullet jerry curl!!! I wouldnt have been able to get it out of my head while i read about the SEXY Winn!! All in all I really did enjoy this book!

Fondness!

My romance novel start began with historical romances some 30+ years ago, but the last 10 years or so I’ve read nothing but contemporary romances. This book was my first read back into the historical romance world and I’m glad I read it! I actually saw this book in a Dollar General while shopping and decided to see if it was available via Kindle, which it was; so I got the book and two days later I’m already finishing it. Compared to the contemporaries, and honestly a lot of my fave historical ones, the love scenes in this one were very tamed but still got the “message” across. I absolutely LOVED the overall storyline of the adventure and the evil lazy antagonists (boy they were sleazy!), but the sub-storylines were great too. Great read, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

I think if I had not got the newer version of this book I would not have bought the original version simply for the cover. The cover model was not enticing at all. However I think this book was a very good lesson for the evils of greed and for the rewards for good. It was not laced with sex like most of the novels I read which was extremely refreshing.
